　　Bermuda prepared itself for a potential hurricane last night as tropical storm Florence picked up strength and headed towards the North Atlantic island．

　　By yesterday evening, Florence was around 500 miles south of Bermuda and moving north-west at about 13 mph．

　　With gusts reaching up to 70 mph, forecasters warned that Florence could become a hurricane as it nears Bermuda, and the island's government urged its 65,000 residents to take precautions．

　　“The public is encouraged to stock up on normal hurricane supplies and to secure their homes, lawn furniture and any other loose items which could be affected by high winds,”said Derrick Burgess, the island's minister of public safety．

　　Yesterday, islanders hurried to install storm shutters on their houses and pull yachts(游艇)on to beaches．The island's only airport was boarded up and is not expected to re-open until Tuesday．

　　One local, mechanic Paul Henderson, 53, recalled 1987's devastating Hurricane Emily as he stocked up on batteries．

　　“I was still cleaning up my property three years after,”he said．

　　The storm was expected to turn away from the coast of the United States as it turned north toward Bermuda, but forecasters said its large size could also create high surf and rapid currents along eastern parts of the coast．

　　The six-month hurricane season that began on 1 June has produced only one hurricane so far．Tropical storm Ernesto briefly reached hurricane strength near Haiti last month but weakened before drenching(湿透)America's east coast．

　　Last year's storm season saw a record 28 named storms and 15 hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina, which destroyed New Orleans and a line of the US's south-west coast．
